Manchester United: Harry Maguire’s view on Marcus Rashford divides fans

Harry Maguire has heaped plenty of praise on Marcus Rashford, as per an interview featured on the club’s official website.

Maguire revealed his Manchester United teammate is the most talented player he has ever played with. This is quite some statement, given the fact the defender has played alongside the likes of Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy and England duo Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling.

Speaking to the UTD Podcast, the club captain admitted “Marcus is there and he battles through every game. Obviously he’s had a bad injury but he’s battling hard to get back. He very rarely misses games.

He’s always wanting to make himself available. I think you can see around the place, on and off the field as well, he’s excellent with his charity work, which is great to see.

He added: “On the pitch, like I said, he’s amazed me. He’s the most talented player I’ve ever played with.”
